Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

2886 – From Anas that The Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said:

‘O Allaah there is nothing that is easy except that You made it easy, and
You can make this difficulty easy if You so wish to’

اللهم لا سهلَ إلا ما جعلتَه سهلاً وأنتَ تجعلُ الحزنَ إذا شئتَ سهلاً

Allaahumma laa sahala illaa maa ja’alta sahlan wa anta taj’alul-huzna itha shitta sahlan

Collected by Ibn Hibban in ‘Saheeh’, Ibn Sunni, and ad-Deeya in ‘al-Mukhtar’ and shaykh Albani declared it Saheeh upon the conditions of Muslim.

Ibn Hibbān Al-Bustī:

"True brothers (or sisters) are known during times of need, for indeed everyone is a friend during the good times. And the worst of brothers (or sisters) are those that betray their brethren in times of hardship and need."

📝 Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī:

“If the price is low, everyone will buy...”

“Al-Qāsim bin Muḥammad said that ʿĀʾishah bint Abī Bakr رضي الله عنهما would fast in the intense heat, and he was asked: ‘What drove her to do this?’ He replied: ‘She would take advantage of the days before death.’

And some of the righteous women would choose the hottest days and fast them, saying: ‘If the price is low, everyone will buy,’ meaning that she wanted to do those actions that only a few were capable of due to how hard it was to do them, and this is indicative of the high aspirations these women had.”

📕 Laṭāʾif al-Maʿārif (272)

The famous poet Abu at-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi once said:

إِذا رأيتَ نُيوبَ اللَيثِ بارِزَةً *** فَلا تَظُنَّنَّ أَنَّ اللَيثَ يبتَسِمُ 

“If you see the canines of a lion exposed,
Then do not assume that lions smile.”

If you know a certain person is harmful, dishonest, untruthful, deceptive, hypocritical, ect.; then do not look at a specific action of his and assume he means well, because what apparently looks nice and kind, like the smile of a lion, is in reality destructive.

"When Yunus (عليه السلام) was swallowed by the whale. It its stomach, he focused on the Tawheed of Allah and it got him through.

When you are drowning in problems, focus on Tawheed of Allah and this will get you through too."

— Ustadh Abu Ibraheem Hussnayn

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
(There is none worthy of worship but You, glory is to You. Surely, I was among the wrong doers.)

THE EXAMPLE OF THE BELIEVER WHO RECITES THE QUR'AAN

Saheehul-Bukharee: Book of Foods: Chapter 30: A mention of Food no. 5427: From Aboo Moossaa al-Ash'Aree ( رضي الله عنه ) who said Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,

"The example of the Believer who recites the Qur'aan is the example of the citron, Its fragrance is good and Its taste is good. And the example of the Believer who does not recite the Qur'aan is the example of the date, it has no fragrance but its taste is good. And the example of the Hypocrite who recites the Qur'aan is the example of sweet basil: its fragrance is good but its taste is bitter. And the example of the Hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'aan is the example of the colocynth (bitter gourd), it has no fragrance and its taste is bitter." *

* Saheehul-Bukharee: Book of Tawheed: Chapter 57: The recitation of the wicked person and the Hypocrite, and their voices and their recitation will not go beyond their throats. No. 7560.

📓Captured Thoughts by al-Hāfiz Abū’l-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī -رحمه الله-

* Every Morning two angels come down. One of them says, ‘O Allah, compensate anyone who spends’ and the other says, ‘O Allah, destroy the one who withholds.’”

It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يُصْبِحُ الْعِبَادُ فِيهِ إلَّا مَلَكَانِ يَنْزِلَانِ فَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا , وَيَقُولُ الآخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا تَلَفًا

“There is no day on which people wake up but two angels come down. One of them says, ‘O Allah, compensate anyone who spends’ and the other says, ‘O Allah, destroy the one who withholds.’”

[al-Bukhaari, 1442, Muslim, 1010)]

Umar bin al Khattab said:

❝Do not let the prayer of a man deceive you nor his fasting. Rather look at the truthfulness of his speech, his trustworthiness whenever he is entrusted, and how he acts whenever he is given wealth and/or power.❞

💠 Reciting the Qur'aan for worldly benefit:

Narrated Al-Hasan (al-Basree) that Imraan bin Husain رضي الله عنه passed by a reciter reciting (the Qur'aan), then he began begging. So he (Imraan) said al-Istirjaa' (إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون) (Indeed to Allaah we belong and to Him shall we return). Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) saying:

❝Whoever recites the Qur'aan, then let him ask Allaah by it. For indeed there will come a people, who will recite the Qur'aan, asking from the people because of it.❞

📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2917) and graded as "Saheeh li ghairihee" (Saheeh due to supporting chains) by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

🌴🌴🌴

🚫 There are people who go around from one Masjid to another, getting paid to complete the recitation of the whole Qur’aan in three nights in Ramadhaan (and I am not talking about the wages of regular Imaams of the Masaajid or about those who teach the Qur’aan for a nominal fee)

Imām ibn Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

“The path always starts with trials and tests, then comes the period of patience and reliance [upon Allāh], and the end is enlightenment, guidance and victory.”

[Shifā al-Alīl, p.247]

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allāh have mercy on him - :

❝Emulating the Ṣahābah and the Tābi'īn increases one's intellect, religiosity and noble mannerisms.❞

Today's Beautiful Hadith is About Charity

Abu Huraira RA reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He (the giver of Sadaqa) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to an adulteress.

He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In
the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He (the giver of
charity) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to a well-to-do person.

He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning, the
people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a thief.

So (one of the persons) said: 0 Allah, to
Thee be the praise (what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to) the adulteress, to a rich
person. to a thief!

There came (the angel to him) and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress (the charity might become the means) whereby she might restrain herself from
fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him,
and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.

[Muslim Book 005, No 2230]

The Worst of times...

“If you are in an era where speech is without action, and knowledge is without implementation in accordance with it. And this is approved of, then know that you are in the worst of times and among the worst of people.”

📕 Ibṭāl al-Ḥiyal by Ibn Baṭṭah (1/34)

-

📚 قال #سفيان_بن_عيينة - رحمه الله - :

" إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي زَمَانٍ يُرْضَى فِيهِ بِالْقَوْلِ دُونَ الْفِعْلِ ، وَالْعِلْمِ دُونَ الْعَمَلِ ، فَاعْلَمْ بِأَنَّكَ فِي شَرِّ زَمَانٍ بَيْنَ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ".

📕 إِبْطَالُ الْحِيَلِ لِابْنِ بَطَّةَ(٣٤/١)

❝ How...?

How did the Hanābilah and Ashā’irah unite and liberate Baytul Maqdis despite their differences?

How did the ‘Uthmānis govern the ummah for centuries while they’re Māturīdiyyah?

How did Taqiyyuddīn Ibn Taymiyyah lead the influentials of Damascus - not differentiating between them - when they met Qāzān and he interceded with him on releasing the Muslim and Christian prisoners?

How did many of the Ashā’irah scholars praise Taqiyyuddīn Ibn Taymiyyah while they differed with him?

How was Taqiyyuddīn Ibn Taymiyyah eager on uniting the Ashā’irah & Hanābilah?

The answer: the vastness of their knowledge, their impartiality and contemplating over the aims of the sharī’ah in uniting the ranks of the ummah.

So shall we not tread their way despite our differences, uniting to uplift our ummah again?!
